CAN YOU SAY “FREE PIZZA”?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 23, 2011 -- New York, NY - August 23, 2011 - Pizza Mercato is launching its first ever video contest to find the beloved pizzeria’s biggest fans.

After 19 years of feeding locals, tourists and the future film-makers, doctors, lawyers and philosophers of New York University, Pizza Mercato wants to say thanks, the best way they know how.

The contest asks participants to submit a 60-second short that creatively highlights why they are a superfan and what the pizza means to them.

The Grand Prize is free pizza for the academic year, based on the NYU calendar. Winners will be allowed a one-topping pizza per week for the school year. Additionally, the winning video will be promoted to a wide audience, a great opportunity for anyone involved in film production.

“We want to connect with the customers that make our restaurant so great, especially our biggest fans,” said owner Van Selvan. 8,000 people a week eat Mercato pizza making it the most popular pizzeria in the neighborhood. Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, a former NYU student, even mentioned eating there in a recent interview.

The contest is open to everyone over the age of 18. Submissions are due by September 30, 2011 and voting runs from October 1, 2011 to October 21, 2011. Full details, terms, and conditions are available at: www.Pizza-Mercato.com/contest.
